For what it's worth,  I keep meticulous records for every imaginable expense related to my Murphy  Moose.  Thus far I have a total of 220.6 hours on the Moose with operating  costs running $115.55 (US) per hour.

Can you filter out everything but fuel and oil (no maintenance etc.) and post that (not if it’s a hassle)?

 Or  maybe list the items that result in the $115.55/hr operating cost.  Such  as:

 Fuel

 Oil

 Insurance

 hangar rent/tie down fees

 scheduled maintenance 

 unscheduled maintenance allowance

 consumable items

 landing fees

 care and cleaning

 total cost of buying constructing airframe

 etc.

  

 I am curious to see what insurance is per year on a moose at what hull  valve as compared to other airplanes, like the model 12, yak, etc.  Most  all the other costs will be about the same.

$38.79  / hr for just fuel & oil over my 220.6 hours in the plane.  Big items  that drive the /hr cost up incl some hangar costs (before I built my own),  instrument repair / purchase (alternator, artificial horizon, HSI), tools, parts  (upgrade exhaust section), sales tax on kit purchase...

Kevin,

  

 I just have liability ins on the Moose which  is $706 / yr.  Hull was something like $4,500 for $150K which I thought was  a bit much.  Plus, I wanted hull--if I got it all--for a Canada/Alaska trip  and they wanted a 25% premium for that if I recall correctly.  Between  house, car, life, health and everything else in life it seems, I'm tired of  paying insurance companies a substantial portion of my income.

  

 I didn't break down things quite as you  detail below; I'll mail you my spreadsheet privately.
